Happy Sunday Shark Families,

Coaches Corner:

Being adaptable and flexible is an incredible skill to possess as an athlete and in life. How do you prepare for unforeseen circumstances? Are you sleeping well? Are you ready for any situation? What if it’s hot? Or what if it rains? In two weeks, we will swim a meet at an indoor pool which is something new for the majority of us. The sounds are different, the smells are different, there will be no open sky. Are you flexible enough to pivot towards that quickly? If not, let’s start working on getting to a comfortable place so we can take on any challenges.
